INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Plumbing
Read the section 'Important Safety Information' first.
1.1 The Elite ST is designed to operate with gravity fed water supplies providing
pressures from 0.8 kPa * (0.008 bar / 80 millimetres head) to 100 kPa (1 bar /
10 metres head) (i.e. the vertical distance from the base of the cold cistern to
the top of the Elite ST). The unit should be never be fitted to a mains supply or
where the above maximum pressure may be exceeded. Failure to comply with
this may result in product damage leading to significant uncontrolled leakage
from the unit.
• * Note: In practice the minimum head required will increase with pipe
length and the guide given in paragraph 1.17 should be used to make
sure that adequate head is available for any given installation.
The Elite ST MUST have its own separate supply from the cistern.
Incorrect Cistern Take Off
Debris from the bottom of the
cistern and air generated when
the cistern refills will enter the
shower supply.
1.2 The Elite ST is suitable for installation within the shower area and is fitted with
a pressure relief valve. It must be positioned over a water catchment area with
the controls at a convenient height. The shower fitting should be positioned so
that it discharges down the centre line of the bath, or across the opening of a
shower cubicle, and must be directed away from the shower unit.
